Progress and Painted Floors

 Closing is done and I have had my project pants on for a WEEK.  Progress IS being made!  I am sure you remember the before (how could you not?  You are probably still having nightmares!)

 In progress:

*Wall has been painted.  You can't really tell from the first picture, but it was a lovely shade of orangey terra cotta, eek!  Now, Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray....much better!


And a sneak peek of the complete room:

 Now, doesn't that look SO much better?  The lovely floor is now painted one color...painted?  Yep, painted.  We got lucky on that one.  When I originally started researching how to cover the lovely 5 color stained concrete (I thought) floors, I found a handy tutorial over on Young House Love, one of my favorite blogs.  Once we closed, and I dug around in the garage, I found the products that had actually been used on the floor.  Lucky me, they were all water based (not concrete stain) and did not have to be stripped.  We were able to wash a couple of times and paint right over em.  The paint is supposed to be durable, so we will see. 


 I love the look, what do you think?
